Wheat is a recurrent theme in Mademoiselle Chanel’s apartment. She made it her lucky charm, like a subtle metaphor for creativity that never ends…

In each room of the apartment, wheat makes an appearance: as a brass bouquet, in gilded wood on the sitting-room fireplace, as gilded sheaves for a table leg, or even as a simple blade painted for Mademoiselle by Dali.

Karl Lagerfeld in turn “sprinkled” ears of wheat throughout his Spring-Summer 2010 collection: showers of golden wheat ears were embroidered or cropped up on chain belts, bracelets, headbands, necklaces and shirt fronts.

Sorting through some old collages from high school and came across these. I should really start doing this again in my spare time. So fun.

I was searching around online today for tattoo ideas and found so many that I really liked. I had to share them. I admit, most of the tattoos though, were not beautiful. They made me question the person’s sanity or whether they were just drunk when they got it. But alas, I still want another one (don’t tell mom). I loved these.

We finally made it to England! Our flights and train rides were long and uncomfortable, but so worth it. We arrived last night at about 5:30pm England time (so about 9:30am California time). Tiana and Eric were waiting for us and we were so ready to be there. After arriving, we got a second wind and ended up staying awake until about 11:30pm.

Today, Tiana made us a traditional English breakfast: egg on toast, sausage, bacon, and baked beans and tea. Then we walked into Beeston and visited all the charity shops. We ended up having a burger and pint for dinner at The Last Post. We swung by the local grocery store and bought what we needed to make Zuppa Toscanna soup for dinner tomorrow night before walking home. We are having a great time and cant wait to see more. I’ll be posting again soon. Cheers.

Eric and Tiana in front of their house. I love their blue front door.

This is Andy, their cat.

Backyard. It just snowed recently, so everything’s still wet.

This is the street that Tiana and Eric live on.
